Chapter 4: Shandora
Xiao Yan still had a glimmer of hope in his heart at this moment. He kept telling himself that if, perhaps, he could find the rest of the devil fruits, then he wouldn't have to shamelessly take away the future that originally belonged to Enel.
Enelu looked at Xiao Yan's complex and struggling expression with some surprise. He didn't understand why Xiao Yan suddenly became like this, but after thinking about it, he replied, "No more."
"Don't answer me so quickly. Think carefully. It doesn't have to be exactly like this fruit. It just needs to have this strange pattern or be similar."
Xiao Yan pointed to the devil fruit he was holding tightly in his hand and said.
Enel raised his head, put his fingers on his head and thought for a while, then he spoke slowly.
"Now that you mention it, it seems there really is one. However, it's a little different from this one. The pattern on that one looks a bit like flames, and it's red."
"real."
Flame, red, could it be the Flame-Flame Fruit?
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up instantly, and he began to tremble with excitement, as if he had taken a tonic pill. He instantly recovered all his strength and rushed to Enelus' side. "Take me where you want to go!"
Enelu was startled by Xiao Yan 's actions. After hearing what Xiao Yan said, although he was very curious about why Xiao Yan asked him where to take him, Enelu was not entangled with this. He was entangled with whether he should take Xiao Yan to the place where he found the fruit.
Because, at this time, the villagers who went out hunting should have returned. If they found out that he had escaped from the village, he would probably be beaten. Moreover, the place where he found the fruit was also very dangerous.
However, when he thought of Xiao Yan 's arm around his shoulders, the feeling of being recognized by others, which he had never experienced before, Enelu instantly threw everything else out of his mind and spoke to Xiao Yan .
"Okay, follow me!"
In a valley somewhere in Apajado, there is a very hidden place, like a mountain stream, surrounded by huge rocks and with a very small stream in the middle.
Enelu and Xiao Yan were hiding here at the moment, carefully watching the Sky Island guards flying around in the sea of clouds. "Hey, Enelu, are you from Sky Island?"
Xiao Yan took advantage of the gap in hiding to ask Enelu, which was also a question that Xiao Yan had been struggling with while watching anime. "I don't know."
After hearing this, Enel looked a little gloomy.
"But I've been living on Sky Island for as long as I can remember!"
"Oh, I see you don't have wings, but those guards all have wings, so I'm a little curious." Xiao Yan stepped back and shielded himself with the shade of the tree.
When Enel heard this, his face turned very ugly. Perhaps Xiao Yan 's words touched his sore spot, because without wings, Enel had suffered countless discrimination and abuse on Sky Island.
Xiao Yan asked this question, he naturally guessed a little about how Enelu treated Sky Island.
He asked this naturally to arouse Enel's resentment towards Sky Island, so he continued to pretend to be indifferent.
"Maybe, you and I are both from Qinghai?" Enel was shocked when he heard this and looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief .
"Look, you have no wings like me, and the people in Qinghai also have no wings."
Having said this, seeing some movement in Enel's eyes, Xiao Yan continued to speak seductively.
"How about it? Do you have the same idea as me to return to Qinghai?" "Return to Qinghai!!!"
Enelu opened his eyes wide in surprise. Xiao Yan 's words gave him the idea to leave Sky Island and see the man who looked exactly like him.
The same thoughts of the human world, but "How to go back?"
"Hey, I don't know that either."
You should know that Sky Island is thousands of meters above Qinghai.
Xiao Yan scratched his head in embarrassment. He had no idea at the moment. However, he could not dispel the idea of Enelu going to Qinghai that he had just aroused. So, he continued, "Although I don't know how to go back now, I will never give up the idea of returning to Qinghai. After all, that is my hometown."
After saying this, Xiao Yan looked at Enelu who was thoughtful and hesitant and said, "More importantly, you are here. If I were alone, it might not be possible, but with your help, it will be no problem at all."
"I"
Enel pointed at himself. "How can I help you?"
"Although I can't help you now, I never know in the future. Now I'll wait for you to lead me to the place where you found this fruit."
Xiao Yan still couldn't overcome his greed. He didn't have the courage to tell Enelu the truth about the devil fruit right now. "Okay."
Enel was also very confused and didn't know what Xiao Yan was talking about.
Fortunately, at this time, the two looked up at the sky and found that the people of the God's Guard had left, so they sneaked away.
Xiao Yan followed Enelu and walked forward along the winding road. They met people from the God's Guard several times on the way. Fortunately, due to their short stature, they were not discovered by them.
This didn't seem to be the first time that Enelu had sneaked in here, so he was familiar with the place and didn't encounter any danger.
More than an hour later, Enel finally brought Xiao Yan to a place similar to ancient ruins. There were broken buildings everywhere, leaving behind information about ancient civilization.
Watching this scene, Xiao Yan had an idea in his mind. "Could this be the Xiangdora in the plot?" "Hey, hurry up and follow me."
Enelu yelled at Xiao Yan who was standing there in a daze. It was obvious that Enelu was very nervous at the moment. "Oh oh"
Xiao Yan came to his senses and followed immediately.
The two kept walking back and forth in the ruins until Enel brought Xiao Yan to a building covered by a sea of clouds, and then they stopped.
"We're here, this is it." Enel said excitedly.
"here???"
Xiao Yan looked around and found nothing here except broken bricks and tiles. Enelu looked at Xiao Yan , who was puzzled, and said proudly.
"It took me a lot of effort to discover it. Come with me and I'll show you."
Enelu stepped into the sea of clouds. The clouds were not too deep, and Xiao Yan just stepped over Enelu's knees. Xiao Yan watched Enelu groping around in the clouds, and then a hint of excitement flashed across his face as if he had touched some treasure.
"Found it. It's right here."
Then, Xiao Yan saw Enelu trying to move something in the sea of clouds, his face flushed red. Seeing this, Xiao Yan seemed to have guessed something, and he also stepped into the sea of clouds and walked to Enelu's side. "Let's go together"
Then, following Enelu's hand as it went deeper into the sea of clouds, he found that, as expected, he had touched a large rock.
"Okay, if we work together, we can move it." "Yes."
Enelu glanced at Xiao Yan and said nothing.
The two of them worked together, and in an instant, the big rock loosened a little, and a tiny crack appeared from the big rock. Xiao Yan instantly felt a whirlpool-like attraction.
"Come on, try harder!" Enel roared.
"It's right under this where I found the fruit."
After hearing what Enel said, Xiao Yan seemed to see the devil fruit waving at him in his eyes, and he instantly exerted all his strength.
With a roar, the big rock was moved away in an instant. At the same time, the huge whirlpool of water sucked Enelu and Xiao Yan into a dark hole.
